1882 WINCHESTER Model 1873 Lever Action .44-40 WCF RIFLE Cowboy 24” Antique
Natural Companion to the .44 Colt SAA
Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle chambered in the desirable .44-40 WCF caliber, made in 1882 in New Haven, Connecticut. The Model 1873 is one of the most iconic of American rifles. Given the moniker “The Gun that Won the West”, the 1873 was there during the Indian Wars and Range Wars of the late 19th century. Cowboys, Natives, settlers, miners, law enforcement, express companies and hunters all found these rifles and carbines useful tools. These rifles made excellent companions to revolvers at the time as they were chambered for the same ammunition, such as the infamous “Colt 44”, meaning that the user only had to keep one type to feed both guns.
One could easily defend the homestead and provide for his family with this versatile weapon. The 1873 really was the quintessential Western rifle, handily outpacing all the muzzle-loading and Civil War surplus guns that also made their way to the frontier. Still an icon in the modern day, it was manufactured between 1873 and 1923. It was originally chambered for the .44-40 cartridge, which was the first centerfire cartridge which became immensely popular.
The overall condition is good. This example has been nicely refinished. Robust action. The bore is in very good condition with a bright bore and strong rifling. Very good, solid stock.
